EXAMPLE from the general score:

Notes:

Haydn lived in Vienna for twenty years (1740-1760) before working for the Esterhazy’s, the richest princes of the 18th century. The royal court alternated between Vienna, Eisenstadt, and Esterhazy. Haydn first worked for Prince Nikolaus; when Prince Anton took over the court, the musical establishments were disbanded. Prince Anton died in 1704, and Nikolaus II reconstituted the musical establishments. Nikolaus II summoned Haydn, who had been out traveling, to compose a new mass every year to celebrate the name day of Princess Maria, at the end of his life.

Haydn in his later years was a very public figure; as the most famous living composer, he had all the commissions he could handle, and he supposedly complained that “my duties increase as my years increase.” That makes his small songs all the more interesting, for he told his biographer that they were written “con amore,” with no external stimulus. In particular, the part songs Der Greis and Die Beredsamkeit are miniature masterpieces.

David Johnstone has transposed the present song into G Major, to be a perfect small concert piece for medium-to-advanced cellists. It is conceived for four solo cellists, but could be presented by a much larger cello orchestra, if the higher passage intonation in the first voice be very stable!
